Do you aim to work reps quickly and slowly to work different aspects of the muscle? When you hold and contract the muscle for longer periods during the rep do you think you develop more muscle size?

I'm more of the power lifting school, however most people training for hypertrophy preach slow controlled reps with maximized time under tension, and squeezing the contraction at the top of the rep.
